Apoaequorin MESH:C060014 #825

Closed codewarrior2000 closed 6 days ago

codewarrior2000 commented 6 days ago

Entering "Apoaequorin" as a search term isn't triggering an autocomplete in the UI. The Name Lookup does have a listing for "Apoaequorin".

From WebMD: Apoaequorin is a "calcium-binding protein," and research links calcium to brain health and memory. An imbalance of calcium in brain nerve cells called neurons might play a role in aging the cells, destroying them, and disrupting signals between them.

But could swallowing calcium-binding protein based on jellyfish somehow benefit your human brain? Research suggests it doesn't. The apoaequorin in Prevagen likely gets digested by your stomach before any of it stands a chance of reaching your brain.

i believe the UI is filtering the lookup to small molecule, which is not on this CURIE.

@sstemann Thank you, I did not know about the filtering the lookup to small molecule. I'll just close this issue.
